I love kabocha and sesame seeds So, here's what happened.

Make sure to microwave the kabocha squash until you can mash it easily with a fork.
Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the kabocha.
I was able to make 9 of 2.5 cm-sized chakin-shapes (squeezed into teardrop-like shapes). For about 2 servings. Recipe by Yukipekopoko

Steps

1

I used Shinsei's "Peeled Roasted Sesame Seeds". They say it's good for digestion since it's peeled.
2

Chop the kabocha into small chunks. Put into a microwave-safe container. Pour a modest amount of water on top, then cover with a plastic wrap, and microwave for 3 1/2 minutes at 600W.
3

Drain the water and mash with a fork. To evaporate excess water, microwave 1 minute at 600W without the plastic wrap.
4

Add sugar, salt, and sesame seeds into the kabocha prepped in step 2, then mix together. Dish it up, top with sesame seeds if you wish, and serve.
5

You could arrange it on a serving dish, or squeeze the tops with a plastic wrap for a cute shape. Also good for bentos.
